"Who are you?" Zhu Xiaozhou looked at the young man.

I saw that the young man was dressed in coarse cloth, his face was rough and yellow, but his bones were like Qijia.

Yes –

Will be talented.

But there is a longitudinal scar between the eyebrows, which just splits from the middle......

This is the short-lived phase.

"My name is Jing Chong—" The young man looked upright.

Zhu Xiaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be ......

The young man's eyes stared straight at Zhu Xiaozhou's hand that was hiding behind him in an attempt to distract him.

He asked, "What's that?" ”

Zhu Xiaozhou saw that he couldn't be deceived, so he had to be deflated and took it out from behind him.

The cold jade reflected the beautiful moonlight, faintly shining in Zhu Xiaozhou's palm.

Jing Chong was not afraid, but he actually came up, looked at it carefully, and sighed heartily, "Wow-"

Zhu Xiaozhou was amused by him. "Aren't you afraid?"

Jing Chong raised his head and looked at Zhu Xiaozhou's eyes, as if he didn't understand why Zhu Xiaozhou asked him like this. "Why be afraid?"

"But you didn't just look at ......"

See?

Zhu Xiaozhou was surprised, she was sure-

Jing Chong witnessed what was happening to her at the well, and watched her take out the cold jade, how could she not be afraid.

When she was a child, when she first saw her grandmother reach into the empty jar and take out half of her withered hand and the short sword she was holding, she was so frightened that she didn't even eat dinner that night.

The kid wasn't even afraid.

It's just—

Zhu Xiaozhou looked around, "Whose child are you, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

"My aunt does some chores for the guest house every day, and the shopkeeper gives me two cakes. I'm here to pick up my grandmother! Jing Chong said.

Jing Chong's father joined the army and died on the battlefield two years ago.

In addition to his mother and him, there is also a pair of younger siblings who are only three or four years old, Jing Chong is the eldest brother, so he naturally carries the burden.

Their mother got a job as a handyman in the inn, washing and cleaning every day, and could exchange two cakes.

It's not much, but it's not starving.

Something happened in the inn today, and it was delayed.

After Jing Chong put his younger siblings to sleep, he came to the guest house to pick up her grandmother.

Seeing that there were many people on the street, the inn was inexplicably "lively", so after everyone left, he deliberately came in around the back door. happened to bump into Zhu Xiaozhou put his hand into the well and was grabbed by a withered hand, and then, Zhu Xiaozhou had an extra thing in his hand that glowed with cold light......

He didn't know what it was.

But he is not stupid, he can feel that Zhu Xiaozhou is not an ordinary person.

"Chong'er!"

Jing Chong's mother also came over, and when she saw Zhu Xiaozhou standing in front of Jing Chong, she ran over and grabbed Jing Chong and blocked her behind.

Zhu Xiaozhou felt her fear. "You're scared, we're just talking."

"I know who you are!" Jing Chong's mother naturally heard about what happened in the guest room before. "I beg you, my son...... My son is only 7 years old! He can't ......"

She was terrified and wanted to hide her son.

As if she was worried that Zhu Xiaozhou would hurt her son.

Zhu Xiaozhou smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that in this era, she would also be regarded as a witch.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to hurt him. I just saw that he was very good...... I heard that your husband died in battle, and you have had a hard time. But now, the guest house probably won't be able to open, what will you do in the future? Any plans? ”

She felt a little guilty, but she didn't expect that after Lu Yi was arrested, it would cause Jing Chong's family to live in difficulty.

After that, there were no more than two breads a day.

How do you live here?

"You don't need to ......" Jing Chong's mother was very resistant to her.

Zhu Xiaozhou grabbed a handful of knife coins from the bag of knife coins that Lu Yi gave her earlier, and handed it to her.

Her eyes lit up, and she hesitated, but she didn't dare to answer.

Zhu Xiaozhou turned his head and wanted to give Jing Chong the handful of money in his hand.

Jing Chong was about to step forward to take it, but was stopped by his mother.

seems to still wonder if Zhu Xiaozhou is not well-intentioned.

"Take it."

Zhu Xiaozhou raised his hand to signal, and Jing Chong stepped forward and took a large handful of knife coins with both hands.

This money is enough for them to eat for a year or two......

"My money is also clean. The shopkeeper was the first to kill others, and many people were killed by him, so he naturally had to pay the price for his actions. I help you because I didn't know that you had to earn a living from the guest house, and that I indirectly cut off your wealth...... But by no means do I regret exposing his evil deeds. ”

"I will definitely pay you back this money." Jing Chong assured with certainty.

“...... Not necessarily. ”

Zhu Xiaozhou, who has always loved money, refused Jing Chong's repayment this time.

Bai Yuan and Si Ming, who were standing upstairs and had been paying attention to them, were deeply puzzled.

It was only at that moment that she suddenly remembered what had happened.

Originally, it was also a return, but I didn't expect it to involve so much trouble. Forget it, only this time, it's time to do a good deed.

"And what will you do after that?"

Jing Chong looked at his mother and told Zhu Xiaozhou that a general who was following his father before his death wanted to pick him up. If he joins the army, he can also afford to support his mother and two younger siblings in the future.

"That's fine."

"If she knew, this kid was the person she was looking for......" Si Ming looked at the emperor timidly, intending to ask the emperor to remind her.
